Biden responds to arguments against stricter SCOTUS ethics rules: “The idea that the Constitution would in any way prohibit or not encourage the court to have basic rules of ethics that are just on their face reasonable ... It’s just not the case.”

Step 1a is to make employees realize this.

[Mark Cuban @mcuban]

The first step is to make CEOs realize the rebates they are getting, are paid for by their employees. It’s as if they think it’s free money. It’s not.

If you are the CEO of a company that is getting rebates from your PBM, you have to understand that your employees are subsidizing those rebates through higher deductibles, co-pays and premiums.

So that great deal you thought you got on health care is actually being paid for by taking money from your employees.

Is that actually what you want yo do ?

Why not ditch the consultants and give that money every month to your employees ?

Healthcare is only complicated because you allow it to be.

Svetlana Mojsov's experiences expose a disciplinary bias against chemists in favor of MDs and show how narratives of scientific discovery get passed down. From me and @MeganMolteni

On Plum Island, off the tip of Long Island’s North Fork, scientists study some of the most infectious pathogens known to man.

But the center will soon be decommissioned and replaced by a new, billion-dollar facility in the middle of the country https://t.co/uC9hlA5ovD

For the past 70 years, the Plum Island Animal Disease Center has been at the forefront of protecting the US livestock industry, and the population at-large. But now it's shutting down, to be replaced by a billion-dollar lab in the middle of Kansas. (2/4)
